The forum, comprising heads of agencies, departments, and government parastatals, aims to consolidate the gains of ongoing reforms. Convened by Dr. Kazeem Raji, Director-General of the National Board for Technology Incubation, the meeting's theme focused on "Strengthening Collective Leadership, Mobilisation and Support for the Re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Renewed Hope Agenda."

We are the foot soldiers of the Renewed Hope Agenda. Every policy of government ultimately becomes meaningful only when it is translated into measurable impact in the lives of our citizens. That responsibility rests substantially on our shoulders.

The forum intends to foster unity among presidential appointees, enhance inter-agency collaboration, eliminate duplication, align agencies with administration priorities, and showcase demonstrable successes.

The group seeks to build a unified network capable of mobilizing support for the continuity and consolidation of the administration's agenda.
